If you change parts that change the parameters of what's going in & out of the engine (intake, header, etc), you should reset the ECU so that it can start with fresh air/fuel maps and adjust them to accommodate the new parts.
At least that's the reason I've come to understand.
thanks alot
well dont forget when u reset your ecm (ecu) youre ep has to relearn its idle
general when u unplug the negative or remove the fuse(which is easier less sparks) then put it back in, you then have to start the car let it warm up a bit then rev and hold it 3k rpms for 5-10 minutes. your eps light might come on but jus turn off then turn on your car and it will go away
Noob here, i recently purchased a 05 ep3 and have been trying to figure all the mods that have been done. I know it has a full invidia exhaust, megan racing 4 to 1 header. Also possibly a k20a2 head still trying to figure that out because the intake manifold is marked prb. Had a cold air intake wich i recently just put a new filter on. I know the immobilizer is bypassed but i dont think its due to a ecu flash because going on hondatas website they say a flash is unavailable for the a3 ecus. Anyways i guess my quistion is could it hurt to restart my ecu?
